KHARKIV: Ukraine said on Tuesday (May 10) its forces had recaptured villages from Russian troops, pressing a major counter-offensive in the northeast of the country that could signal a shift in the war's momentum and jeopardise Russia's main advance.

The setbacks near Kharkiv deal a blow to Moscow's war plans at precisely the moment when Western capitals believed President Vladimir Putin had been hoping to present a major victory for a holiday marking the end of World War II.Western countries had worried that, in the absence of major battlefield success to announce, he might instead order a nationwide mobilisation.

In the south, Russian forces were again pummelling the Azovstal steelworks in Mariupol on Tuesday, trying to capture the last bastion of Ukrainian resistance in the ruined city where Ukraine says tens of thousands of people have died under two months of Russian siege and bombardment. Reuters was unable to verify the situation at the plant. Russia did not immediately comment on his remarks and has denied targeting civilians.

Baerbock was the first German Cabinet minister to visit Ukraine since the start of the war, days or weeks after visits by senior officials from other Western countries. Firefighters battled blazes in Odesa until early hours on Tuesday after Russian missiles struck the Black Sea port. One person was killed and five people were injured when seven missiles hit a shopping centre and a depot, Ukraine's armed forces said on Facebook.
